The 3.741 miles of bumpy asphalt that makes up Sebring International Raceway is most certainly unique. And in choosing it as his favourite track, Oliver Gavin makes several references to the airfield venue’s one-of-a-kind nature that, in his estimation, narrowly elevates it above the Circuit de la Sarthe where he took five class victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Former Corvette Racing stalwart Gavin raced at Sebring between 2001 and 2020, in every year of his American sportscar career aside from 2000. But despite professing not to be the biggest fan of “very humid and hot” Florida and having “a bit of a love-hate relationship” with the former Hendricks Army Airfield site, it proved a happy hunting ground for the Briton.
